SENSATIONAL CRICKET
[From Our English Correspondent.]
LONDON, August 22. Conditions favored the howlers in (he test trial at Lord’s Ground between teams termed England and the Rest. The latter side batted first, and did well under the circumstances to make 200 runs for four men out. Then came a great change, and the whole side was dismissed for 205 runs. It was Tate, of Sussex, who did the business by taking five wickets in eleven balls for no runs. He got four wickets in successive balls —a performance very rare in first class cricket. It is a matter for note that his father, F. W. Tate, captured five Kent wickets for 1 run at Tonbridge in 1888. Tho last 'time four wickets were captured in successive balls was in 1914, when both Drake, of Yorkshire, and S. G. Smith, of Northamptonshire, did so. J. C. M'Byrne did well to play an innings of 80 for the Rost, and Sutcliffe, of Yorkshire, made 63 for the English XL in the first innings, which reached a total of 206.
